Enviroschools programme

Enviroschools encourages children and young people to become catalysts for change. Local facilitators work alongside students, teachers, whānau and communities to plan, design and implement sustainability actions.

Empowering students is central to the Enviroschools approach. Māori perspectives and the diversity within our communities is woven through all elements of the programme.

There are over 25 Enviroschools in Lower Hutt. We also have more than 30 schools, kindergartens and kura that take part in some areas of the programme.

Enviroschools is delivered by the Toimata Foundation and Council provides financial support.
